A new leak suggests Apple may finally be ready to introduce its long-rumored foldable iPhone. According to the report, the device could be called the iPhone Ultra and may be announced on September 9, potentially appearing alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup at Apple’s next major iPhone event.
If the report is accurate, the foldable model would mark a major shift in Apple’s smartphone strategy. Apple has so far stayed out of the foldable phone segment while other brands have pushed ahead, so an iPhone Ultra debut would be a significant entry into one of the industry’s most closely watched product categories.
The rumored launch timing is especially notable because it places the foldable iPhone within Apple’s flagship fall rollout rather than as a separate experimental release. That would suggest Apple sees the device as an important part of its premium iPhone portfolio instead of a niche side project.
For now, the launch date and product name remain unconfirmed, and the details should be treated as part of the ongoing rumor cycle. Even so, the latest report adds momentum to speculation that Apple is preparing a foldable iPhone reveal sooner rather than later.
